What we in Melbourne, Australia demand is the sealing off of the Port Phillip Heads. Real sea level rises will merely bankrupt insurance companies leading to cents in the dollar payouts all taken by the lawyers, what a joke! The correct remedy is to defund the subsidies to Port Melbourne, expand the container infrastructure to the Westernport and Portland minor recreational boating ports, and rename the State of Victoria New Holland!

Hmm!! Iran has minimal modern weapons and UAE can take on Iran Air Force?? What planet have you been living Sir Richard Dalton?
Why don't you share that info with the Israelis, so they can too go destroy Iranian military and end the nuclear program.
Or with all due respect Sir, you need to stop smoking whatever it is that you are!!

Firstly, Iran's military budget is the lowest in the region (on a per capita basis) - so it may not have particularly advanced weaponry - just a lot of it. The total military budget is around $6 billion - which is lower than Singapore's.

Secondly, given the sanctions against Iran, it is not clear who they would have been buying weapons from anyway. As far as I can tell, they have the US weapons that they purchased from before the revolution - and have been making their own armaments otherwise. Unless they have managed to create a very secret high-tech weapons industry, they are extremely unlikely to have anything capable of standing up to modern US built weaponry.

Thirdly - the main reason Israel did not attack Iran is largely because it does not know how the rest of the Middle East would respond to an Israeli attack on an Islamic state (even if it is a Shia one). IT has nothing to do with the idea that Iran is any sort of military superpower.
